Understanding Phrase Files and Using V-Edit

Writing a Phrase to a File

You can use V-Edit to write a single phrase from the current file to a file. When you write a
single phrase to a file, the specified phrase is copied instead of deleted from the current
file. When you use this procedure to write a phrase to a file, the phrase is not stored as an
indexed file, such as the Octel 50 phrase files, but is stored as a single-phrase file to
which no additional phrases can be added. To write a single phrase to an indexed phrase
file, see the procedure on writing a phrase to an indexed file.
To write a phrase to a single-phrase file:
1. Open the file that contains the phrase you want to write to a file, if it is not already
open.
2. Press <W>.
3. At the prompt to enter a phrase number to write, enter the number of phrase you want
to write then press <ENTER>.
4. At the prompt to enter a filename, enter the name of the file to which you want to write
the specified phrase.
5. If you specified a new filename, the file is created and the phrase is written to it. If you
specified the name of an existing file, you are prompted whether you want to
overwrite the existing file. If you select <Y>, all phrases in the file are overwritten by
the single phrase.
To write a single phrase or group of phrases to an indexed phrase file:
1. From the Main menu, press <M>.
2. At the prompt to enter the name of the source file, enter the name of the file from
which you want the phrases moved then press <ENTER>. Include the complete file
path, if the file is not located in the \VEDIT directory.
3. At the prompt to enter the starting phrase number, press <ENTER> to accept the
default (phrase 1) or enter the number of starting phrase you want to move then press
<ENTER>.
4. At the prompt to enter the ending phrase number, press <ENTER> to accept the
default (the last phrase in the file) or enter the number of ending phrase you want to
move then press <ENTER>.
5. At the prompt to enter a destination filename, enter the name of the file to which you
want to move the phrases, then press <ENTER>.
6. At the prompt to enter the starting phrase number, press <ENTER> to accept the
default (phrase 1) or enter the number of starting phrase you want to move then press
<ENTER>. The ending phrase is entered automatically based on the number of
phrases you are moving. If there are existing phrases in the range you specify, they
will be overwritten when the phrases are moved to the file.
7. If the filename you enter does not already exist, you are prompted whether you want
to create the file. Press <Y> to create the file or <N> to return to the Main menu.
8. When prompted whether you are sure you want to move phrases, press <Y>.
